the haunting in conneticut

So I took my 12 y/o nephew to see Aliens vs monsters in 3d. He said he didnt want to see it but wanted to see watchmen. Yeah... No... So this was our alternate route of attack. I love horror films and my nephew was scared ****less and I could tell because he hid his face every time somethign scary might happen, by placing his arm in a weird angle to get popcorn.

But whatever. I also can't tell you how true to the real story the film stays but it's pretty decent. The scares are more along the lines of jump outs and loud music but it works. What I did like is the horrors got better as the film went on, making the film even creepier.

It has some flaws but really it works and even the acting is good. Is it worth a theatrical viewing? Eh, not really but it's still worth checking out at some point down the line,

Movie - 2.5 / 5
